  • Goal Orientation, Goal Difficulty, and Incentive Values of Academic Goals

    Open AccessFrank W Wicker, Douglas Hamman et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2005

    We examined relationships among goal attributes (difficulty and affective value) and goal types (mastery, performance, intrinsic, and extrinsic). Goal attributes of positive affect value and relative salience of positive value were higher for intrinsic goals, mastery goals, and more difficult goals, qualified by an interaction between difficulty and type of goal. Intrinsic goals were more affectively positive than extrinsic goals and mastery goal…

  • Task Involvement and Satisficing with Motivational Scales

    Open AccessFrank W Wicker, Yehsoon Park et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1995

    Three measures related to motivation to perform a rating task accurately were obtained from 49 students, who also performed goal-attribute ratings. Less motivated students surpassed more motivated ones on several indices of rating bias. Previous evidence for differential relationships among goal attributes was clearly replicated only with the ratings of more motivated subjects. These findings suggest that many respondents may strive for “satisfac…

  • From Wishing to Intending

    Open AccessFrank W Wicker, James A Wiehe et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality1994

    Goal ratings by 345 subjects in seven data samples supported a functional distinction between two types of positive incentive value, one based on approaching positive affect (positive‐based value or PBV), the other on avoiding negative affect (negative‐based value or NBV). Ratings of PBV were more related to ratings of earlier action‐phases of motivation (“wishing”), whereas ratings of NBV tended to be more related to factors entailed in later ac…

  • Categorical goal hierarchies and classification of human motives

    Open AccessFrank W Wicker, Frank B Lambert et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality1984

    To explore a structural approach to motivation based on hierarchies of goal inclusion, 231 subjects in two studies rated the valence of 46 or 56 general goals, and ratings were subjected to hierarchical cluster analysis and factor analysis. Factors over all subjects were labeled Interpersonal Concern, Competitive Ambition, Exploration‐play, Balanced Success, Economic Status , and Intellectual Orientation . Cluster analyses produced corresponding …

  • Analogy Training and Synesthetic Phenomena

    Frank W Wicker, Carole K HolahanARTICLEThe Journal of General Psychology1978Referências: 2

    Eighty male and female undergraduates were assigned to one of four groups which differed on order of presentation of three tasks: (a) an analogy training task, (b) a measure of sensitivity to intersensory alignments, and (c) a self-report instrument on synesthetic experience. The data suggested positive transfer from the analogy training to each of the other tasks, but no transfer effect in any other direction. There was significant correlation b…
